[ Weight Loss Myth: If You Eat and Exercise Consistently, You Will Never Gain Weight ] Fact: WebMD says-- You need to be willing to make lifestyle changes and dietary adjustments as you age, change, and grow. The fact is, your metabolism slows down as you age. As a result, you often have to either eat less or exercise more to avoid gaining weight. The biggest change usually occurs around the age of 40. Your metabolism will continue to slow down more gradually over the years, so always keep your food and exercise plan flexible. When it comes to diet and exercise, the only thing that you can really be certain of is that there will be new weight loss schemes with every new day. By keeping informed -- and raising your eyebrow when in doubt -- you will be better prepared to navigate the never-ending supply of conflicting weight loss advice.

[ Weight Loss Myth: Certain Foods Make You Burn Calories ] WebMD says... There is conflicting information about whether or not certain foods can increase your metabolic rate, making you burn more calories. While different foods offer different health benefits, people are often left wondering if calories vary from one food to the next. A calorie is a calorie, regardless of where it comes from. There are no foods that increase your metabolic rate, or help you burn calories, she says. Even if certain foods do increase your metabolism, the amount is too insignificant to make it a magic bullet. Instead, start weight lifting. Why? Because by building muscle you increase the number of calories your body burns when at rest. It is also recommended that you eat foods with a high water and fiber content because they stay in your system longer, a plus for taking off the pounds if weight loss is your goal.

[ Weight Loss Myth: Carbs Are All Bad. ] Fact: WebMD says-- It's a myth that all carbohydrates are bad. But that doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from low-carb diets. Carbs are not all created equal, and you want to avoid processed carbs that are often high in sugar and white flour. Instead, enjoy beans, whole grains -- think brown rice and whole grain breads -- and don't forget fruits and vegetables, which provide a host of nutrients and fiber, are low in calories, and can help reduce the risks of several diseases. The body also uses carbs as fuel during exercise to burn body fat, another great reason to keep the bread basket on the menu.

[ Myth: The more you sweat, the more you burn. ] Fact: Especially drenched after your regular afternoon run? That doesn't mean you necessarily torched any more calories than usual (sorry!). Sweat is a biological response that cools your skin and regulates internal body temperature. It's just as apt to be the result of an overheated studio, the weather or your personal physiology as it is a grueling gym session.

[ Exercise Gives You Energy ] When endorphins are released into your bloodstream during exercise, you feel much more energized the rest of the day. And when you improve your strength and stamina, it's easier to accomplish everyday tasks like carrying groceries and climbing stairs. This also helps you feel more energetic over the course of the day. A common excuse is that you are too tired to exercise. While exercise may make you feel more tired at first, that won't last long. The physical tiredness you feel after working out isn't the same as everyday fatigue. Besides, once your body adjusts to exercise, you'll have more energy than ever.

1. Movement Melts Away Stress! As much as it may stress you out just to think about exercising, once you actually start working out, you'll experience less stress in every part of your life. Exercise produces a relaxation response that serves as a positive distraction and it also helps elevate your mood and keep depression at bay. 2. You're not the only person who will benefit from more happiness and less stress in your life. When you're less stressed, you're less irritable, and that could improve relationships with your partner, kids, and co-workers.
